Jones signed with the Colts on Monday, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2015 third-round pick has been with the Colts since the Redskins released him in early September, initially joining the practice squad and then making it up to the active roster. He was released Saturday but will rejoin the team just two days later, perhaps hoping to get a few more carries as the Colts play out the string of lost season. Jones has five carries for 14 yards in three appearances this year, and he'll still fall behind Marlon Mack (and possibly Josh Ferguson) if the Colts decide to cut back Frank Gore's workload.

Jones was waived by the Colts on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was promoted to the Colts' active roster in the latter portion of September. He saw the field in three contests and logged five carries for 14 yards in the process. Assuming he clears waivers, the running back will presumably either return to the team's practice squad or look for a new destination.

The Colts expect to have Jones available for practice in some capacity Wednesday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones failed to practice Thursday and Friday of last week before ultimately being ruled out in advance of Sunday's win over the Texans. The fact that the running back is set to begin Week 10 preparations on the practice field portends well for his status for the Colts' contest against the Steelers, but don't expect Jones to have much of a role in the team's game plan.

Jones (ankle) was ruled out of Sunday's game in Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Jones didn't practice this week as a result of an undisclosed ankle injury, which is a shame since he garnered his first playing time since Week 4 during last week's game in Cincinnati. His next chance to play will come in Week 10 against the Steelers.

Jones missed practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
The lack of practice participation represents a step back for Jones, who was limited during the Colts' first session of the week. The running back will have one more chance to prove he's reasonably healthy during Friday's practice, but in any case, Jones won't be in line for many snaps behind Frank Gore and Marlon Mack.

Jones will not participate in Monday's game against the Titans as the result of a coaches decision.
EDGE Analysis
Jones, who was inactive last week with a knee issue, was able to log full practices throughout the week. Thus, given the full health of Frank Gore, Marlon Mack, and Robert Turbin, it is likely that Jones is just receiving a healthy scratch.

Jones (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was inactive for last Sunday's win over the 49ers due to a knee injury but his full participation to open the week bodes well for his chances of playing Monday against the Titans. Look for more updates on the reserve back to come throughout the week.

Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones didn't practice on back-to-back days this week due to a knee injury, and will not suit up after carrying a "doubtful" designation into the Week 5 contest. As expected, Frank Gore will lead the Colts running back committee that will also be bolstered by the return of Marlon Mack (shoulder).

Jones (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
While Jones, who carried four times for 11 yards in Week 4, will likely be out Sunday, the Colts' backfield depth behind starter Frank Gore will be bolstered this weekend by the expected return of Marlon Mack (shoulder) to the mix.

Jones had four carries for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Jones got playing time late in the second half once the game became a blowout loss. Jones isn't going to have a role in the offense and is on the roster just for depth. He may lose his roster spot when Marlon Mack returns from a shoulder injury.
